ATPL Pilot Licence
The Integrated Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) program is the right training route for any aviation enthusiast with little or no previous flying experience to professionally get into the industry and begin building a career of an airline pilot.
The program includes all the necessary modules to help you properly master the fundamental pilot’s skills. Meanwhile, the successful completion of the Integrated ATPL course will enable you to proceed with the final training steps before becoming a competent pilot ready to enter the market.
The latest ATPL program has been designed with Area 100 KSA philosophy in mind, which aims to develop Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes from day one at ground school. Competency-based training and assessment will provide trained pilots with more skills and awareness of the flight deck and the ever-changing operational environment. EASA mandates ATOs to incorporate the Area KSA methodology into its initial pilot training syllabus by 2022 January 31st.
In less than two years of intensive aviation training, you will be able to apply for the position of a First Officer at an airline of your choice and explore the aviation industry from the inside.

KSA100/CBTA
Area 100 KSA (Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes) is a new subject in theoretical pilot training. It follows a competency-based training and assessment (CBTA) philosophy and is often referred to as a “paradigm shift” that modernizes flight crew training.
The aim of Area 100 KSA is to develop and access student pilots’ certain behavioral competencies besides the technical ones. The competencies based on ICAO core principles are the following: communication, leadership and teamwork, problem-solving and decision-making, situation awareness, workload management, and application of knowledge.
Students will have to complete one formative assessment, two summative ones, and one mental math test during the learning process. The assessments will verify whether the students are fully equipped with the relevant competencies and have developed a “thinking pilot’s” mindset.
